Language is constantly evolving and words can mean different things to people who use them. This list should be used as a reference guide.  \nSex  \nEndosex  \nA term describing a person who has sex characteristics (ie. genitals, gonads) that would have them classified as male or female at birth;; a person who does not have variations of sex characteristics.  \nInterphobia  \nDiscrimination against intersex people, or those with variations in sex characteristics. This may include making negative remarks about a person’s sex characteristics such as body hair or chest. Interphobia also exists in medical institutions through performing non-­consensual cosmetic ‘normalising’ surgeries on intersex infants and young people.  \nIntersex, variations of sex characteristics (VSC)  \nThe term intersex is used to describe a person born with natural variations of sex characteristics such as chromosomes, reproductive anatomy, genitals, and hormones. People are sometimes born with these variations, or they may develop during puberty. There are up to 40 different intersex variations. Though the word intersex describes a range of natural body variations, many people will not identify with, or know, this term or related terms. In medical environments, variations in sex characteristics are known as 'differences in sex development' (DSD), though this terminology is widely critiqued by intersex activists for pathologising natural bodily development.  \n1  \nSex  \nRefers to how a person’s body is classified based on characteristics such as genitals, hormones, chromosomes, and gonads. People often conflate sex and gender, or wrongly assume that a person’s sex always determines their gender.  \nSex assigned at birth (SAAB), sex designated at birth (SDAB)  \nA phrase used to recognise a person’s sex assigned/designated based on their external anatomy at birth. The phrase acknowledges that a person’s assigned/designated sex may be different from their actual gender or sex.  \nTaihemarua  \nThe Māori word for intersex.  \n2  \nGender  \nAgender  \nA term describing someone who has an internal sense of being neither a man nor a woman, nor another particular gender;; meaning ‘without gender’.  \nBigender  \nA term describing someone who can be any two genders at the same time, or switch between the two. Some bigender people use different names and/or pronouns for each gender.  \nButch  \nA reclaimed term describing a person (typically a lesbian or queer woman) whose gender expression and/or identity, behaviours, and traits can be described as masculine. The term is often used in relation to femme, describing feminine expression, identity, and traits among lesbian and queer women.  \nCisgender, Cis  \nA framework of understanding gender that positions cisgender people and bodies asthe ‘norm’, while marginalising people who aren’t cisgender. This includes inferring that those who are trans, non-­binary or gender diverse are not as normal or ‘natural’as cisgender people.  \nCisnormativity  \nA framework of understanding gender that  \nDemiboy  \nA person who is partially, but not fully, a tane/boy/man.  \nDemigirl  \nA person who is partially, but not fully, a wahine/girl/woman.  \nDrag  \nThe act of dressing in gendered (often exaggerated) clothing as part of a performance. This performance does not necessarily indicate a person’s sexuality, gender, or sex. However, for many people, drag can be an integral part of their identity.  \n3  \nFemme  \nA term describing a person (typically a lesbian or queer woman) whose gender expression and/or identity, behaviours, and traits align with femininity. The term is often used in relation to butch, describing masculine expression, identity, and traits among lesbian and queer women.  \nGender  \nHow we identify and describe ourselves based on the roles, expectations and assumptions we are socialised","cbCaifLFlvwWdCsg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifLFlvwWdCsg","pdf",70965,"English","# Sex, gender, sexuality & other key terms\n## Sex\n## Gender\n## Gender-related healthcare","[{\"question\":\"What is “intersex” and how is it described in medical settings?\",\"answer\":\"Intersex describes people born with natural variations of sex characteristics such as chromosomes, reproductive anatomy, genitals, and hormones.
